The Doll in Your Avatar

That's Crow, a Withdoll Alan, and one of my beloved multiverse OCs - he's been a d&d druid, an inquisitor, a dragonborn, etc, etc.



I didn't really intend it to be Crow at the time - although in my defense, I very rarely buy dolls with existing OCs in mind. It was one of those "oooooh doll pretty" moments. Hence why he has his lovely, delicate, shimmery default company faceup still, and not something more appropriate to Crow, who is none of those things. I'll get around to it someday, but that will also involve blushing and good lord no I am not peeling him out of that outfit yet, the boots alone were the fight of a lifetime.

 

Mine is Harucasting Zzang. I bought her second hand early this year after missing her preorder the previous year. She is the only one I saw available second hand most of the year and happened to be the exact resin color and faceup I would have ordered. I really need to get some more photos of her.

 

I'm loving seeing these details of avatar dolls! Thanks for asking about them @Cat ^..^

I have my old Luts Shiwoo in my avatar. He was my first doll, but I've sold him to a loving home. I still keep him in my pfp because getting him in the mail will always be a magical memory for me.

 

My profile picture is Satu, a Bobobie Isabella in normal skin. I bought her in 2022, in-stock from Denver Doll Emporium. (In the pic, she is wearing Barbie Extra mini sunglasses.)



I was originally considering another doll for this character (a Dream Valley Ann), but she happened to be in-stock, much cheaper, and looked like she would be a good fit for the character. I am so happy I chose her. I still like Dream Valley Ann, but I feel Isabella fits this sassy, mischievous bunny girl so well. (And she can wear Barbie clothes! ) I love her small size, because so many accessories fit her. She is such a spoiled girl, and is the “princess” of my crew. (In spite of the fact that she is of common blood/a peasant, and there are actual nobility/royalty among my crew.)

The story she is originally from is set in a medieval fantasy world (where she is a loyal friend and handmaid for a noblewoman named Clea), but I also have a modern alternate universe with her.

In the modern world, she has a YouTube channel where she posts videos (mostly humorous), and Let’s plays of games, reviews, and reactions. She loves to be silly and make people laugh. She has a huge but gentle husband who can put up with her craziness, and several of her friends who are here with her in doll form. She seems to annoy her best friend a lot, but they really do have a good relationship. (Even if he will joke about shipping her doll off somewhere else.)

For style, in the medieval fantasy world she wears outfits like Lady Tanith from Elden Ring. In the modern world, she wears comfy, casual clothes.

 

My avatar is Dylan Greysnayl, Volks F-48 Rinon in Sunlight. She was an FCS purchase. I’d wanted this sculpt since I joined the hobby back in 2009 and brought her home in 2022. I didn’t have a plan for her until I started working on The Takashima Extraction. In my avatar, Dylan is in her daily wear outfit that I made. In the photo below, she is in Mage Mode, street name Chalk. She is confronting a Merc in Takashima. Chalk wears a black Fer.



Dylan never knew her parents. Her father was sent to Towbridge, the combined maximum security facility on the border of the Salish Corp Zone. Her mother died under mysterious circumstances. Rumor was that her father murdered her mother. Dylan has two siblings but she hasn’t seen them since they left the orphanage.

Dylan and Camille Starfall were in the same corporate orphanage. Dylan’s magic ability and half Elf Camille caused them to be the outcasts among the other kids. They became fast friends. One day, Camille disappeared. There was a string of human kidnappings in the Free Lands. Dylan vowed to find Camille and bring her home.

Dylan is a mage, with an affinity for creating false images on cameras and wreaking general havoc.

 

She's beautiful and ethereal.

 

I didn’t get my most wanted doll (DIM Bbjorn) until 2023 and I’ve wanted him since early 2000s
I like that we never forgot the things we wanted and got them Because I was so sure he was a pipe dream

Your Dylan is pretty and her backstory very intricate. I like her powers - I just like the whole mage concept all together

 

My avatar is my Delf Soony, Blue. Soony was my absolute grail and I couldn't have been more ecstatic when I brought her home in December 2017. Blue is and probably always will be my favourite doll in my collection. She's very special to me. She is actually a limited Delf Art Lolita Soony, one of only three that were available, and I do have her full set items - though I like dressing her up too much to keep her in them! Blue changed the direction I was going with my collection - she was my first CP Delf and I have since become obsessed with the CP Delfs and have managed to collect a little family of them.

She's a bratty, fangirly teenager, who loves all things cute - totally spoiled of course - and I love her so much.

 

I'm glad you got your Bbjorn! They turn up at just the right time!

@Silabear thank you!

 

This is a fun thread! @Enzyme I always wondered whose lips those were.

Mine is a paperclay doll I made, so she's off topic for the main forum. I used to have her Making Of thread at the Joint, before it was merged with DoA.

 

Mine is IMPLDOLL Eudora. In my doll family shes Livia. Her character is from 1800's but I. this pic, she in the late 90's or 2000's - shes holding a real functioning Digital camera

 

My avatar is Ren, my second favourite boy in my collection. He's Little Rebel mini-Kamu and I bought him directly from the artist in 2019. His body is Dream Valley 51 cm bought via Alice's Collection. Ren is my OC, although his look was heavily inspired by Stray Kids' Felix. Ren is 20, he's a Japanese living in Tokyo and he's a student at Toho Gakuen College of Drama and Music. His hobbies are dancing and playing bass. He's energetic, emotional, sociable and diligent. I don't sew for him because I'm really bad at sewing. Ren likes to play with fashion, he wears hip-hop clothes as well as genderless kei pieces.

Wow, what great photos of everyone's dolls!! Mine is the eye of my Saphira Elf by Boy&Girl dolls from 2007. The eye was a soft silicon type one and I really love these, they meld into the eye socket so well and I believe back then they could be baked solid. What a world he opened up for me!
I believe I ordered him the year before and waited for so long I thought I'd never see him. The day he arrived I was absolutely obsessed and already had another on the way! I still have him even though he's very yellowed, still wearing the same DOD outfit and wig.
J on Instagram: "This guy! I can't believe he's not on my page. He was my first, my beloved who I still have and he looks pretty much the same. He's a Boy&Girl Dolls (no longer around I think?) Sapphira Elf and I named him Kadin. . . . . #bjddoll #elfbjd #dollcollecting"

 

The doll currently in my avatar is Fintan Pike, a Dollzone Megi-2 on his original body. His character is an amalgamation of several OCs and fannish interpretations I have of "The Ugly Redheaded Bully" popular in 90s media. Fintan is not a bully nor is he "ugly" but being a ginger across time, space and so many silly stories carries some cultural baggage. He's outdoorsy, loves animals and in my vintage 90s stories he's also a band kid with dreams of being a grunge star.

 

It's a shot of the hand of a SD16 Yukinojou. I sold him years and years ago due to financial issues I had at the time, but I still like the shot and I do miss him. His name was Remus but if I ever got another one to replace him I'd change his name dfsdfsdf.

 

It's really cool to see the dolls behind the avatars! It's nice to actually get to see them properly.

1. Gem of Doll Orion Fox version fullset.
2. purchased 2025 summer, June
3. Still working on this, but since his character is officially a sheriff (as in the fullset doll came with a basic character) I have been toying with everything from sarcastic with a heart of gold to more hapless but determined and loveable like the show Eureka.
4. Nope! I bought him because I fell in love with the fullset outfit, and it was a pain in the neck to put on! I am not ready to take it off yet and I think it looks awesome on him anyway. Also I haven't sewn anything in decades (and what I did sew were stuffed animals, not clothes), and I'm not 100% I even want to? I mean, there are some very cool outfits for sale.
5. Trying to find a wig that works with him. Or maybe a hair tuft? I knew his ears were awesome looking but a bit weird in execution. It makes it tricky to alter them visually too much- the wigs come out looking awful.
6. Have bought eyes to update those too. There were originally a little off (staring in two directions), I fixed them without opening the head, but I think an eye quality upgrade would be nice.

 

Mine is Rhiannon. She's a Resinsoul Ian (sometimes called Resinsoul Lan) in light tan (coffee) skin.
I bought her in 2012, and I really love how well she's aged.



I think what I fell for first was her Mona Lisa smile. She looks like a girl with secrets... Also, I love her skin tone. Some older batches of Resinsoul's light tan had a tendency to become greenish with age, but she's from a batch that just turned warmer and more mellow.

Currently she hangs out with my Withdoll dolls, because she fits in better with them. They're slightly smaller and a lot more delicate than my Resinsoul crew.
Her best friends are Morana (Resinsoul Lu in blue) and Heloise (Withdoll Rachel vampire).

 

It is errr... simply everyone in my doll family

I also use this picture on New Year post card to my friends in 2025. Yes, I'm quite open to friend and family that I'm in this hobby, some of my friends are also doll collector, and we sometime exchange post card



For more information about every doll, you can check my doll profile, I've finished adding everyone.
